What are hybrid fibres?
Hybrid fibres are glass reinforcement fibres which are individually coated with a meltable, recyclable plastic. They are the fastest, most affordable, scalable, and high-quality solution for the production of energy-efficient lightweight structures.

Antefil in brief
Let us tell you about the why and how in our own words. It won’t even take three minutes.
Impact across industries
Whether you’re producing tens of thousands of identical parts a year or a few structures 80 meters long or more, the same constraint limits you: impregnation of the fibre textile with the polymer. It caps your cycle time, drives up void content, and jeopardizes the balance between part quality and material affordability.
Our solution removes the cumbersome impregnation step and relies on more efficient low-pressure processes, letting manufacturers of structural composite parts produce lightweight structures quickly, in high volume, at low cost, and with minimum environmental footprint.
Our story
Antefil’s innovation emerged from 8 years of research and development at the Composite Materials and Adaptive Structure laboratory of ETH Zurich.
Designed with circularity in mind
About 61% of continuous fibre-reinforced plastics are made using unrecyclable resins. As a consequence, the vast majority of products are landfilled or incinerated at the end of life. Antefil uses recyclable materials and also offers fibres made from 100% recyclates.
